more, of this place, on Friday morning
of the present week, Ia listen To the clos
ing exercises of the last term of study
by the children of the family. These
consisted of recitations, reading and mu-
sic. both vocal and instrumental, by
Miss Dean and Master Bertie Larimore,
who did themselves great credit as did
also their governess, Miss Johnetta j.
Hodge, of jacksonville, H., who had
charge of their education for the last
year. Several duets, finely rendered by
Miss Hodge and Miss Preble, added much
to the interest of the occasion.
The company then proceeded TO the
Ocklawaha, and AT the site of Mr.. Lar
imore's new mill, embarked on board
large and several smaller boats for Blue
Spring. The trip thither was delightful.
This spring is pronounced by some who
have seen both. equal in beauty, though
not in size, To Silver Spring. II is very
lovely in its reflection of brilliant color,
and the cleaning of the white sand
through the green mosses in its clear
depths, and its situation is exceedingly
romantic. Ii is now a favorite spot with
all in this vicinity, and destined, without
doubt. in the near future for popular
resort.
After rowing around the spring awhile
the party returned TO Harrison's Landing,
went on shore and sought out "A wild, re-
tired spot. much used by picnic parties,
for the purpose of preparing dinner. An
abundant repast was soon provided and
partaken of by about thirty persons,
large number of whom were our neigh
bors from Riverside.
1t was AN apparently happy company,
which went their homeward way up the
wonderful river, whose shores resounded
with songs. All cheerfully climbed the
steep ascent of our inland promontory
and professed their enjoyment Of the
day. as well as their admiration Of the
scenery at this place--a place truly beau
tifui for situation.
Miss Hodge and the Misses Preble will
leave soon for the North. Quite a large
party from Riverside has started for
their homes in the North and West.

A Rare Opportunity.

Ono of the most important of coming
events is the grand convention of Dairy
men and Fruit Growers, which will be
held at jackson, Miss, OH the 10th, 18th
and 18th of the present month. For this
meeting the most elaborate preparations
have been made. His Excellency Gov
ernor Robert Lowry, will welcome visit
ors in the name of the State of MISSISSIPPI
pi, and Hon. Johu McGill, Mayor of
jackson, will extend greeting in behalf
of that progressive, enterprising, inter-
estlng and pleasant city.
Liberal butter premiums have been
offered by the commission merchants OF
New Orleans and by he business men OF
jackson, for which competition is opened
to the world.
Profound interest in the industries OF
the South has been awakened throughout
the Union, and especially as to early
vegetables, fine berries, fruits and dairy
products. In evidence of this, we cite
the fact that at this convention addresses
will be delivered by such learned and
practical men as w. d. Hoard, Esq, ed
itor of HOdrd'S Ddiryman, Fort Atkinson,
Wis, Prof. S. A. Knapp, late president OF
the Iowa Agricultural College; Col r. NJ
Little, of Chicago; Col. X. P. McClincy,
secretary Elgin Board of Trade, and
many others, who by years of careful study
and experience are qualified to give ad'
vice on all matters bearing upon the man
agement of the dairy, as well as upon
general farm topics.
Here will be rare opportunity for OuI
farmers to 8how what they can do, set
what others are doing, and hear from the
lips of men who are competent to teach
and whose eloquence and grace enable
them to impart their knowledge in
pleasant manner, what can and should be
done.

A Chance for Health.

Is afforded those fast sinking into a
condition OF hopeless debility. The means
are at hand. In the form of a genial
medicinal cordial, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters embodies the combined qualities
of blood fertilizer and depurent, a tonic
and an Alternative. While it promotes
digestion and assimilation, and stimulates
appetite, has the further effect OF puri
flying the life current and strengthening
the nervous system. AS the blood grows
richer and purer by its use, they who
resort to this sterling medicinal agent,
acquire not only vigor, but bodily sub
stance. A healthful change i'll the secrc-
tions is effected by it, and that sure and
rapid physical decay, which chronic
obstruction of the functions of the sys-
TEN produce, is arrested. The prime
causes of disease being removed. health
is speedily renovated aud vigor restored.

ship and his talented and accomplished
sisters in tomorrow nights entertain
ment for the benefit of their church.
Mr.. Mauship is "a whole show" within
himself, and as an elocutionist and COM
ic singer, has no equal off the profession
al stage.
The foil owing complimentary notice is
| taken from the Vicksburg Post, where
Mr. Manship recently took part in an
amateur performance by the home talent
OF the Hill City:
As an elocutiOmst Mr.. Luther Manship
displayed so much good taste and judg-
ment his recitatiOns cannot fail to charm
an audience. Karl, the Martyr, and
poem in blank verse, was splendidly recit-
ed. The poem is one that the majority of
clocutionists would murder by rantIng and
mounting, but Mr.. Manship was so thor
oughly in accord with the spirit of the
piece that 1T flowed from his lips with I'M
FASHIONED fervOr, but free from any eXag-
gcratiOus of accent or manner. The
DcutScher Volunteer" in which Mr.. Man
ship captured the entire house, was so
well sung that the applause compelled
him 10 appear again. This time he
gave the audience "Bould Irish Pat"
and attained the climax of success. The
acting as well rs the singing was fine,
aud it is quite evident that tirSt-rate
comic actor was lost to the world by Mr..
Manship's failure te adopt the stage us a
profession.
We take from the West Point Leader
the following complimentary notice OF
Miss Annie Manship, who seems to be
quite the equal of her talented brother:
1t was our pleasure recently to pa rte
Ipate in concert in the delightful little
village of Sturgess. Among the perform
ers on this occasion was Miss Annie Man
ship, OF jackson Miss, whose rendition of
"Mss Huldah's FIRST Offer" The new
Church Organ" and 'rhe Rented Pew"
was faultless, and fairly captured the
audience. She has wonderful talent i'll
the line of comedy, and her facial delln-
cation is unsurpassed. We hope West
Point audience may one day have the
pleasure of hearing Miss Annie i'll her
reCitatiOnS en- costume.
